Week 2, the morning after the summoning

[keepcalmcookon]

[Exasperation. And anger at the stupidity he's about ready to mention:]

A group of idiots just managed to summon the Genius of the Entire Atlantic Ocean, whom promptly escaped their attempts to contain him and possessed their leader. The Crown Prince and the Princess were also both present--and the genius is amenable to not murdering everyone. Even deciding to bide his time to decide which one of them he may decide to support in their fight for the throne.

Even though he seems amenable enough, he can surround you with water and drown you where you stand, so don't try his considerable patience by being a prat.

... I'd like to see an image of this genius-possessed leader, if at all possible.

[Naoya, no.]

[keepcalmcookon]

[Ignis can do that, sharing his memory of the man talking with Caelum long enough to really see his face well.]

The more people who know his face, the better.

[leftbehindagain]

Note to self, have a drink ready for Hanamura when this is over.

[keepcalmcookon]

We're all going to need drinks after this.

[leftbehindagain]

Especially the guy who got stuck inviting an ocean to come out and play.

[keepcalmcookon]

Indeed.

[crouching_sin]

Of course. It's just... hm. I might see if Alice can sneak along behind him somehow... we'll see.

[keepcalmcookon]

... just remember to not do anything rash. This particular genius has been extremely reasonable, considering the circumstances.

[crouching_sin]

True... but it's still very dangerous to have floating around.

[keepcalmcookon]

It is indeed. The fact the Genius of the Atlantic is now a factor in this troubles me deeply.

[crouching_sin]

I'll... see what I can do. They seem similar to demons.

[keepcalmcookon]

See what you can do? [Ignis doesn't like the sound of that, but he also suspects that Naoya is more powerful than him.] ... I suppose I can't stop you if you try.

[crouching_sin]

I can't be responsible for what happens to you if you try~.

[keepcalmcookon]

Just don't die.

[razorblade_empress]

...Huh. Maybe I can get a perspective read on him, assuming he's still in there along with the ocean.

[Seriously, what the fuck.]

[keepcalmcookon]

I'm afraid that's not my area of expertise, but I suppose there's potential for it. Why not try?

[razorblade_empress]

And if worst comes to worst, I've got liquid manipulation to give me enough breathing room to get away if need be.

[She's strong, but she's not so sure she's "fighting an ocean in human form" strong.]

[keepcalmcookon]

Not drowning would be preferable, yes.

[razorblade_empress]

Hopefully it won't come to that.

[Ha. Ha ha.]

[keepcalmcookon]

I also hope so.

[razorblade_empress]

Hopefully we can at least figure out what he wants first. Unless he's trying to figure that out for himself, too.

[keepcalmcookon]

Unfortunately, it's the latter. He has yet to decide if he wants anything at all.

[razorblade_empress]

...That figures.

[keepcalmcookon]

It's not the Genius was planning to be summoned, so we can forgive him for not immediately knowing what he wants.

[razorblade_empress]

I'm more worried about what people might do because he's here, and how that might affect his decision at all.
